Established in 2009, SOFT is an Islamabad based national society working for professional facilitators and trainers across Pakistan. It is not for profit society registered under Society Registration Act 1860. The idea of SOFT emerged from the last 10 years efforts being made at the platform of National IPM Programme of Pakistan Agriculture Research Council implemented in different phases all over Pakistan. Its formation is accomplished by a group of professionals desiring an avenue for interchange, professional development, trend analysis and peer networking. A formal association was proposed and adopted at the 2nd National IPM Facilitators congress in Islamabad, November, 2004. The SOFT Network has currently 35 national and international member organizations under SOFT Network, which not only facilitate it in providing resources but also share their expertise in the designated areas.
